[OpenLayers-Users] How do I set attributes when creating vectors using WFS-T?

[Alexandre Dubé]

Hello,

   If you look at OpenLayers/Feature/Vector.js, you'll see the 
"attributes" property :
http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.12/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Feature/Vector-js.html#OpenLayers.Feature.Vector.attributes

   It is where the attribute properties describing a feature are kept.  
Using Firebug/Any browser dev tool, you can inspect your layer feature 
object, using layer.features[0].attributes.

   So, after drawing your feature you could open a popup and display a 
form containing the fields you want to have as your feature attributes.  
Once done, for each field you would do :
    feature.attribute['myfieldname'] = field.value.

   That's basically what the [example] does.  If you look at the 
[source] code, search for parseFeatureAttributesToForm and 
parseFormAttributesToFeature methods.  This is pretty old stuff, but you 
should be able to understand it.

   Let us know if you need more help.  It'd be nice to have a small live 
demo of your application so that we could see what you're trying to do.
